Lewis Hamilton likely to join Ferrari F1 team in 2025
Though it's unclear if a final contract has been signed or not, talks are still progressing, and this week's end could see the outcome.
Hamilton had earlier termed Vettel’s driving in Baku as "disgraceful and disgusting".
Lewis Hamilton on Thursday accepted Sebastian Vettel’s apology, who expressed his regret over clashing with the Mercedes’ driver during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
“What l did was wrong. Am I proud of the moment? No. Can I take it back? No. Do l regret it? Yes,” Ferrari’s driver said in the press conference ahead of Austrian Grand Prix, starting Friday.
Vettel, the four-time Formula One champion, added: “Looking back, it was the wrong thing to do. It was dangerous and unnecessary.”

However, Hamilton said in the press conference: “I don't feel like I said anything I'd want to take back. I'm still under the same opinion of what happened.”
“An intense battle is always good for a sport. But we are supposed to be role models,” the three-time Formula One champion added, eyeing a tough competition on this weekend.
